MHP and Ivalua form a strategic partnership

• MHP and Ivalua enter into a comprehensive cooperation agreement
• Complete solutions for modern source-to-pay processes
• Ivalua provides the technical infrastructure, while MHP helps the customers of both companies to digitalize their procurement processes

Ludwigsburg – At the official signing ceremony on July 2, 2025, the management and IT consultancy MHP announced a new strategic partnership with Ivalua, a leading international provider of cloud-based spend management solutions.

Both companies are united by the goal of giving their customers in the automotive and manufacturing industries even more comprehensive support in the future when digitalizing their purchasing and procurement processes. To this end, the two parties are combining Ivalua’s easy-to-configure and high-performance source-to-pay platform with the consulting, project, and process expertise from MHP.

Markus Wambach, Group COO at MHP, explained: “The cooperation with Ivalua gives us the opportunity to add a modern platform solution to our portfolio of procurement services. This allows us to offer our customers an even broader range of software solution expertise – and thus deliver complete procurement transformation projects from a single source, including process optimization, implementation, and change management.”

Solutions provide flexibility in a complex market environment

To achieve this, MHP will in the future act as Ivalua’s implementation partner for the customers of both companies and, if asked to do so, will also provide support in the area of process optimization. The two companies will also work more closely together in sales so that they can offer holistic approaches to modernizing procurement.

The partners are thus responding to the direct needs of many companies. That’s because they are often still struggling with hard-to-manage supply chains, volatile markets, and geopolitical risks. Then there are the strict regulatory requirements – such as those associated with ESG.

Friederike von Jordans, Manager of Human Capital and Finance Platforms (HFP) at MHP: “To cope with all of these factors, companies need solutions that reduce complexity, meet regulatory requirements, and allow them to react quickly in emergencies. The most important tools in this regard are a modern system landscape and efficient end-to-end processes.”

“Thanks to the partnership with MHP, we can now provide even better and faster support for customers in the mobility and manufacturing industries when digitalizing their purchasing processes,” said Simon Eger, Director for Central Europe at Ivalua. “MHP has extensive experience in implementing complex software solutions, and I am convinced that customers shared by both of our companies will benefit from this.”
